Would it be better to move the info for the Native American characters from "The Paradise Syndrome" to a page like Amerind residents or something, or should they stay here? Since Amerind is the planet their living on, it might be a good idea to have a page for the planet's occupants and use it much like our species pages. --From Andoria with Love 20:36, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone have canon source on the term used (ie, American Indian, Native American)? If there is no canonical name source, I recommend we switch to Indigenous peoples of the Americas which is the academically accepted term. --- Jaz 15:42, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Why not Aboriginal or First Nations many of them whom I talk to don't like the name Native American. 66.183.195.110 00:51, April 23, 2013 (UTC)

The term American Indian was used in canon, so that's what we use. Probably it was used since Star Trek is an American production. I believe the few times Aboriginal was used it was used to refer to the original inhabitants of Australia; the term "First Nations" was not used in canon AFAIK. 31dot (talk) 02:51, April 23, 2013 (UTC)
